Flood Magazine are curating this time around, with local psych-pop Incan Abraham opening and monster-music garage rockers Isaac Rother & The Phantoms hosting and DJing.

L.A. duo De Lux (Sean Guerin and Isaac Franco) play a whole mess of instruments and record themselves, ending up with a glittering collage of disco, dance-punk and post-millennial electro-pop. Their debut album, Voyage, was released this year and kicks several asses. Check out “Better at Making Time” below:

Incan Abraham make bouncey new-wavey electro pop with a globetrotting sensibility weaved in, exemplified by songs like “Concorde,” from this year’s Tolerance, as heard below:

We were big fans of Banks’ London EP, which featured the slow and sultry “Waiting Game.” Though “Brain” shares that same sensual foreboding, L.A.-based Jillian Banks comes completely out of her shell with a Beyonce-worthy distorted vocal. Producer Shlomoseems to have helped bring out the best in Banks, helping her move from underground favorite to a sure-to-be-hitmaker. The change to a more personable sound suits her—this is an artist who until recently put her own phone number up on Facebook in lieu of using social media, after all.

Wow, Incan Abraham are really stepping it up on their new single, “Concorde.” Big, lush chords hit immediately like a more pop-minded version of The War on Drugs, and the vocals come through vibrantly, with a radio-friendly chorus and harmonies. Producer Lewis Pesacov (FIDLAR, Best Coast, Fool’s Gold) is at the helm here. Tolerance is due April 8 on White Iris.

I can read about megastructures, proposed and existing, and other urban oddities for hours. Yemen’s Shibam, King Abdullah Economic City, theBurj Khalifa and the Ultima Tower have taken up significant amounts of my time. These San Franciscans go a step further by naming their band, album and its flagship song after such things — Kowloon Walled City has a long and fascinating history as a densely populated continuous cluster of buildings in Hong Kong evicted and demolished after years of lawlessness. It’s a perfect name for a post-rock-style outfit, coming from a genre that seems to relish in the wonders and horrors of real life, compared with say the fantastical nature of black metal. “Container Ships,” from their album of the same name, due Dec. 4 on Brutal Panda, creates a grounding out of croaking fuzz and seems to shoot out from the ground like said structures in bursts of ugly yet contained noise. It does sort of feel like driving down the 710 and failing to exit the freeway before arriving in the Los Angeles harbor and being surrounded by these alien and massive ships carrying loads of seemingly pointless cargo, like grotesque tumors of excess — but in musical form. Happy Thanksgiving!

L.A.-based dream poppers United Ghosts today premiere their video for the song “Unhypnotized” exclusively on the Amoebablog. The song features lovely female/male vocal interchange over a film-noir-inspired riff, while the video sees the band seeming to de-brainwash a bunch of nerdy cult members with their extremely cool sound. Ironically, the whole thing’s pretty hypnotic. They’ll play a video premiere party at the Bootleg Theatre in LA next Wednesday! Download "Unhypnotized" free here.
